I never experienced the "delights" of a pre-induction physical, but a
few of my contemporaries told me about their experiences in the mid to
late 1960s. They weren't as exciting as Arlo Guthrie's saga in "Alice's
Restaurant," but I do recall them telling me the pre-induction screening
was minimalist in nature.
My induction physical was less inclusive than the one I had to take to
play high school football in DC.
I would have enjoyed spending the afternoon sitting on the "Group W
Bench," if such existed, messing around with all the other litterers,
playing with the pencils and, of course, being in the selective company
of the mother-rapers and father-rapers that Arlo encountered, and
jumping up and down yelling "Kill, kill, kill." Alas, the draft board
never bothered to send me a notice.
